Florian Wirtz has singled out one player in the Liverpool squad who has particularly impressed him ahead of the new season.
The Premier League champions face FA Cup winners Crystal Palace in the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday, a fixture seen as the traditional season curtain raiser.
Wirtz has had plenty of time to settle in to his new surroundings, having completed a British record £116m move to Anfield back on June 20.
And it is another new arrival who has caught his eye ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
